In addition to Clapp, who led the Redbirds to the Triple-A Championship last season, former Cardinals pitcher Jason Motte, now director of player development for the University of Memphis baseball team, also is part of the program.

After last year’s success with the Redbirds, Clapp was promoted to first base coach for the parent club.

Current players Jordan Hicks, Tyler O’Neill, Austin Gomber and Adolis Garcia also are part of the caravan, which makes an annual stop in Memphis prior to the start of most seasons.

Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis and admission is free. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and events will begin an hour later, with a question-and-answer session and autograph program in the Home Plate Club on the second level of the ballpark.

The Cardinals will use an autograph priority system with the first 400 children 15 and younger receiving a ticket guaranteeing an autograph from each current and former player. Due to high demand, autographs are limited to children 15 and younger.

A raffle also is scheduled. Local Cardinals Radio Network affiliate ESPN Radio 92.9 FM will also be on site.
